Both rosemary and sages belong to the genus Salvia L.
Chemotypes :
The genus Salvia L. includes nearly 1,300 species, among which are the sages. A large number of sage varieties exist, but the following are the most relevant for perfumery:
Sages rich in linalyl acetate and other esters:
- Salvia sclarea L.: Clary Sage oil/ Clary sage absolute. Found mainly in Europe.
- Salvia dorisiana Standl.: Doris Sage. Native to Central America. Rich in perillyl acetate.
- Salvia desoleana Atzei & V. Picci: Sardinian Sage. Endemic to Sardinia (Italy). Rich in linalyl acetate and terpinyl acetate.
Sages rich in eucalyptol, linalool, or camphor:
- Salvia lavandulifolia Spreng.: Spanish Sage. Found on the eastern coast of Spain.
- Salvia fruticosa Mill.: Greek Sage (Three-lobed Sage). Found throughout the Mediterranean basin.
- Salvia bengalensis J. Koenig ex Roxb.: Bengal Sage. Found in India and Pakistan.
Sages rich in thujones:
- Salvia officinalis L.: Sage officnale flower oil / Common Sage Branch EO, along with all its derived varieties.
- Salvia pomifera L.: Apple Sage. Found in Greece, Crete, and Turkey. High in beta-thujone.
Sages rich in bisabolol or nerolidol:
- Salvia stenophylla Burch. ex Benth.: Including both chemotypes of Blue Mountain Sage from South Africa.
Sages rich in beta-caryophyllene and other sesquiterpenes:
- Salvia hispanica L.: Spanish Sage, rich in beta-caryophyllene.
- Salvia glutinosa L.: Jupiter’s Distaff (Sticky Sage), rich in gamma-muurolene.
- Salvia tomentosa Mill.: Woolly Sage (Large-flowered Sage), rich in beta-caryophyllene and borneol.
- Salvia elegans Vahl.: Pineapple Sage, rich in beta-caryophyllene and (E)-beta-ocimene.
Sages rich in diterpenoids:
- Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge: Chinese Sage (Danshen), whose roots are extracted for their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
Extractions & Uses
Extraction process :
Clary sage is a short-lived plant, measuring up to 1.60 m in cultivation. In early spring, the clary sage fields are perennialized by sowing the seeds of the plant. Harvesting takes place during the flowering period in August. The harvest is mechanical: a tractor cuts, shreds and recovers the fresh plants before taking them to the extraction factory.
The leaves can be extracted fresh or dry. The process then used depends on the efficiency and yield with which the essential oil is wanted to be obtained. The extraction is carried out by steam entrainment for one or two hours under high water vapour pressure. The essential oil is recovered from the refrigerant outlet by settling over the clary sage hydrolate. If this extraction is carried out on the fresh product, the yield is 0.1%. If it is carried out on dry leaves, the yield is 0.2%.
A clary sage absolute can also be obtained by extraction with volatile solvents. The resulting extract has a much more coumarinous, Hay Absolute and slightly spicy smell.
Uses in perfumery :
Used in lavender, lavandin and bergamot accords to give a natural effect. Clary sage essential oil is used more than absolute because it is more effective and profitable, due to its heady note and price.
Stability :
Esters of this essential may form their corresponding acids in stability.
Also, terpenes found in this essential oil can polymerize under the effect of oxydation.
Major Components :
- Linalyl acetate (50 - 60%)
- Linalool (20 - 30%)
- Alpha-terpineol (5 - 10%)
- Germacrene (< 4%)
- Beta-caryophyllene (≈3%)
- Geraniol (≈1%)
- Alpha-pinene (1 - 6,5%)
- Camphene (1,5 - 7%)
- D-Limonene (0,5 - 3%)
- Eucalyptol (5,5 - 13%)

Other comments :
Clary sage comes in the form of long leafy stems with purple-blue floral buds. The leaves contain the essential oil.
Clary sage essential oil can be a precursor of natural Linalyl Acetate, its main component. However, Bergamot EO is often preferred to extract it at a lower cost.
